Now boys, just because YOU love to stab inky needles into your flesh doesn't mean you should encourage your VERY impressionable fans to do the same!

One Direction ALMOST incited a mass tween-tattoo movement recently when they (or someone representing them) tweeted at fans to send in pictures of their own One Direction tattoos…

And if the cheeky quintet liked the tat, they would have put it in their upcoming 3D movie!

The since-deleted tweet read:

"Have a real #1D tattoo? Show us! Submit a 90 sec YouTube video to 1d3dfan@gmail.com and show us why you should be in the @1D3Dmovie!"

BUT, the tricky thing is that most Directioners are UNDER the legal age for getting permanently INKED, yet the promise of being featured in their fave band's film could obviously push some youngsters to go out and start illegaly getting CRAY CRAY 1D body art.

So yeah… someone didn't really think that one through. LOLz!

The band's spokesperson quickly rectified the situation when he stated:

"This tweet was posted in error and has now been removed. One Direction do not want to encourage any of their fans to get 1D tattoo."

Lawsuits, avoided! Phew!

However, don't you fret Directioners! Cause you could STILL be part of the 1D movie WITHOUT getting a permanent drawing painfully etched into you skin!

Fans are encouraged to submit pictures that could become part of a mosaic in the film.

Nick Carter tatoo'd huge ass black FEET on his chest in exactly the same location.(Fans thought they were sex instructions.) Nick has since had them removed because he grew up and realized they were ridiculous. Someday this guy is really going to regret those huge monstrosities the same way.

i don't think these guys realize that swallow tattoos are for sailors who have crossed the equator (once or twice, i can't remember) the tattoo has history and meaning for sailors, but they are getting it for shits and giggles. douchtards.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
